Connect What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is seeing the love, lessons, and care I give reflected in my children’s growth. Every hug, smile, and “I love you” reminds me that I’m making a difference. Watching them learn, overcome challenges, and become kind, confident individuals makes every sacrifice worth it. Knowing that I’m their safe place, their biggest cheerleader, and the heart of our home fills me with pride and purpose every single day.

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

One memory my kids will never forget is this past Christmas morning. Watching their faces light up as they opened each gift was priceless. They received everything they wished for, and the pure joy and excitement in their eyes filled my heart. It was a moment of magic, love, and gratitude. Knowing I could give them that happiness made all the hard work worth it. That morning was more than presents—it was a memory we’ll all cherish forever.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I’d finally be able to give my kids the space and comfort they deserve by moving us out of our tight apartment and into a home of our own. It would be a fresh start—a place to grow, play, and create lasting memories. This blessing would bring stability, peace, and a sense of pride for all of us. More than anything, it would show my kids that with faith and hard work, dreams really do come true.
